“ Yummy Colombian food in College Park. Great place to get consistent and yummy latin food while at UMD. Got the steak which came with rice, soup, plantains. Super yummy and very filling. Was so full after I ate. Fast service, very content. Restaurant is pretty casual, sit in. Lots of seating available :) Will definitely be back! ”
“ Delicious Colombian cuisine awaits at Ritchie's! Their arepas are truly fantastic and I love their plantains! Such perfection! They have been in business for a few years now and have had great success. There are parking lots and a parking garage nearby to park at then walk to this location overlooking Route 1 ”
“ Really good food and as close to Colombian food in the DMV. The server was forgetful at times and slow paced. Banda paisa was good. Tamale needs some seasoning. And the pollo epanizado was dry and hard to chew, over cooked and too thin pounded out too much. The pan de queso, Banuelos, and their bakery products were on point. Very good and authentic. The walls were covered with Colombian phrases and some Colombian figures the art work was pretty nice. ”
“ I was meeting with an old friend for lunch, and my go-to spot was opening at 4:00 that day, so I decided to try this spot since I hadn't heard of it and at the time it was fairly new. If you haven't been yet, it's in the strip of restaurants right across the street from Chipotle, &pizza, CVS and all those other places. Being super familiar with the area makes parking way easier. You can do the garage around the corner, which may be free for the first hour, and there are the plethora of campus parking signs... you can park at those for free after 4, or else you'll get ticketed. Back to the restaurant, there's plenty of space to sit at inside. There were some TVs, a chalkboard written entirely in Spanish and all artsy, nice decor, and the service was friendly! After my friend and I reviewed the menu, we decided to share the Bandeja Paisa, which sounded like it would be a lot of food. ...It was a lot of food, and lots of MEAT! I'm not used to having so many meat options in one sitting unless I'm at a BBQ place or something. I'm glad I had a friend to share it with!! Everything was delicious overall -- I will say some of the meats were drier than I prefer, though. The rice, beans and plantain were a hit! There's a lot more to explore on the menu, and I would like to return and try. And I'm a sucker for crepes! ”
“ Empanadas (carne, pollo): 7/10 the outside is a bit too dry for me but the filling is good. Toston con carne mechada: delicious and flavorful carne mechada. I would get this again ”
“ Great spot for a quick home cooked meal. Went at lunch time which was busy, so it took a while to get our order taken. Food came out promptly after ordering. ”
“ Happy I found this authentic Colombian restaurant in College Park, very close to Hyattsville / PG plaza area. The portion was generous; I could eat maybe half of it. This dish, bandaja or plato paisa comes with a piece of steak, fried pork belly with crunchy skin, white rice, pinto beans, fried ripe plantains, avocado, a fried egg, and an arepa... I told you it was a lot!! Everything tasted like a home cooked meal, the beans especially; it was a little low in salt, which I didn't mind if I could add a small table side, but they didn't have it ready on the table. To be fair, the food was so good we didn't ask if they had to give us. I did order some empanadas, but the gentleman forgot to place them; considering it was only us at the restaurant, I don't understand why. I still enjoyed our visit and looked forward to returning to try other dishes with the family ”
“ Very hard to find parking, and there's parking on the street but can get ticket easily. It was a trap! Make sure to park with the flow of the traffic, or you will get a ticket for sure. We came back for more wonderful soup and Arepa con Queso. We also tried 3*Bandeja Paisa: it's a big combo of Grill Meat, Fried Pork Skin, Chorizo, Rice, Beans, Sweet Plantains, Fried Plantain, and Arepita. I wasn't thrilled about it. The pork was fried dry but no flavor at all. The rest was not impressive either. I'll stick to the soup in the future! ”
